[QUOTE="Supa Dexta, post: 1239565, member: 23321"] You can have a field of grass being eaten by dinks (sure a lot of ppl on here have a handle on genetics and breeding practices with well thought out goals in place, but don't kid yourself, the country side is still full of junk bulls, so the room for improvement is still there for many producers) The grass is already there, and you can't account for it all being eaten by the dinks or you're running yourself too thin. You put a field of good calves in their place they will eat the grass, albeit slightly more, but convert it more efficiently and wean higher weights. If you avg'd 570, 600. 630, 700.. whatever you can still get 30 more lbs on them under the right circumstances. And yes of course environment plays a big role. But this whole scenario has to be pieced together with some generalities. And my example of going from a 3k to a 6k bull opens doors to improvement, maybe not in your local sale if you feel that way, but many places its still true. And I didn't say from what weight.. if it were 550 to 580 its a lot easier than 670-700 with the prices I mentioned. [/QUOTE]
